Top Attractions in Hollywood Studios

Hollywood Studios is a wonderful Disney park to venture to especially if you are a HUGE movie fan. This park is usually the first park that we hit every single trip. Sometimes it is because of the food found in the park, but most of it comes from the awesome attractions that are in this park! Here are our top attractions in Hollywood Studios!

1. Twilight Zone Tower of Terror
As we stated yesterday, Tower of Terror celebrated 20 years of existence. For 20 years this awesome thrill ride has been dropping people from the top of the tower to there doom! Or just to the exit. The story of Tower of Terror is the aspect of this ride that puts it over the top. When you walk into the lobby it looks like it has been abandoned. Before you get on the ride, you understand what has happened to this fictional hotel by taking a look at the television show The Twilight Zone. This is the 2nd tallest ride on Disney World property and is one of C & K's favorites! Do not miss this drop!

2. Toy Story Mania

If you are under the impression that Toy Story Mania is only for children, you are totally wrong! This ride takes you into the heart of what it means to be a toy. In the story you are shrunk down to the size of a toy and start playing a new game Andy just received. It is a video game that includes many carnival games you use to play! This is an extremely fun attraction and a great way to get in a competitive spirit with your significant other!

3. Beauty and the Beast on Stage
If you are a lover of Beauty and the Beast like we are this show is a must. It is shown multiple times during the day and if you can catch one of them you should. Do not get it twisted though, this is not the Broadway musical of Beauty and the Beast (Which if you have not seen, go see it!). This is about a 20 minutes show that covers the main songs in the classic of Beauty and the Beast. If you can, try and sit in the middle somewhere. There really is not a bad seat in the house, but as with most shows the middle is the best place to go.

4. Star Tours

In case you did not know, Disney is taking over the world and a part of that was recently the Star Wars movies. Although they just started working on new Star Wars movies, these have been a part of Disney World for a while. With this particular attraction, you cannot be disappointed if you are a fan. The story of Star Wars is all throughout this ride. This is a 3-D attraction that takes you inside of the Star Wars universe. The fun thing about this ride is it can be different every time you ride it! There are 54 combinations that can happen when your ride this. How can you not enjoy a ride that is never the same?!


5. The Great Movie Ride

If you are a movie buff then The Great Movie Ride is a must. This is a dark ride which takes you into the scenes of some of the greatest movies of all time. Your tour guide knows everything about all of these movies and has great facts about what you are seeing through audio-animatronics and even through real cast members! Make sure you are paying attention, that could be a real person throughout the ride. The only disappointment we have for this ride is there have been some FANTASTIC movies made in the recent years and we would love to see those movies start being incorporated into this ride in some way!

  1. Amazing images friend! I really like you blog. Disneyland is an amazing place for enjoyment and sees the different characters of Disneyworld. I’m recently come back bus tours boston to washington dc with my family. The Beauty and the beast is my favourite cartoon in Disneyworld.
